Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM Lens Review and Test Results

Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM is a superzoom lens for APS-C sensored DSLR cameras added to the part of the “Contemporary” line-up.

From DxOMark review :

“Sigma’s cosmetic revamp of the exterior and revision of the optical construction has resulted in a lens that not only looks classy but also produces results superior to rivals including those from Canon.

A reduction in weight and size, albeit only slight makes this all the more tempting for travel, while the enhancement in sharpness and optical performance generally at the longer focal lengths is particularly valued in zoom like this. Although this has led to a certain amount of compromise with the performance at the wide-end, retaining the modest price of its predecessor the Sigma easily impresses.”
